*** A. File names ***
Files contain projected maternal mortality indicators for each scenario by calendar year 2020-2050 (indicated by the column name suffix for each variable).
Scenario names are used as prefixes for each results file, with "Mean" indicating the mean, and "LB" and "UB" indicating the 95% uncertainty intervals (lower/upper bound) of the simulation results.
